Leadfingers, did Diz answer the phone? I dearly hope his "It's Rubbish, but it's British Rubbish!" was recorded for posterity. Any word of recordings?

I remember being swept away by him at the Talisman folk club in Hitchin with his awesome mixture of jazz guitar and comic songs. I had never heard the like. Wow!

I remember a bit of a chorus line from one song: "Yaz, Yaz, Yazz" as in (I'm making this bit up) "and the old boy kicked him up the Yaz, Yaz, Yazz". Ring any bells.

I remember Maureen calling "just one more please!" (one more song) as she tried to bring the performer to a halt.

Good times! :)

I hope he's recovered from his heart attack.
